This secret, even Noe Wilford, the head of the family, did not let Lanci know, because it was a safeguard for the benefactor of the Chamber of Commerce. It wouldn't be revealed to anyone outside of the family head. Aside from Noe, only the steward Hans left by that mysterious merchant knew about it.
It wasn't until Wilford Chamber of Commerce started to falter that Hans mentioned the past during a casual chat with Pranay.
"Tata, has Lanci ever told you about the world line that the Goddess of Destiny showed him? In that world line, a tragedy befalls the Wilford Family. This was the initial reason why Lanci wanted to come to Ichrite to study—he was trying to change the future of his family's destruction."
Hyperion looked toward Talia. She noticed that Talia was staring at her too, a flash of understanding in her golden eyes.
"I know."
Talia nodded thoughtfully.
